This book provides a sampling of four major poets of this revival: \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJayshankar Prasad, Nirala, Sumitranandan Pant, and Mahadevi Varma.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe translations are mostly of their short lyrics. In the case of Nirala and Pant the poems have been selected both from the so-called Chayavad era as well as later. The difficult passages of each poem are individually footnoted to aid the reader, and brief explanatory notes are provided to explain the context and general significance of most poems. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA general introduction to each poet, together with the notes and Rubin’s smooth translation, makes these poems more accessible to anyone interested in Indian literature in translation or otherwise. The volume also has a select bibliography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJayshankar Prasad\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuryakant Tripathi Nirala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSumitranandan Pant\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMahadevi Varma\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAppendix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The India Club","offers":[{"title":"David Rubin \/ Oxford University Press \/ Hardcover","offer_id":68153702842736,"sku":"7317","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1041\/5203\/9792\/files\/7317.jpg?v=1793912873","url":"https:\/\/marketcalvexa.shop\/products\/the-return-of-sarasvati-four-hindi-poets","provider":"Alderstone House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
